Tourist Season

My spontaneous trip to Washington D.C. was a blast. Again, it was cool to actually see these historic places I've learned about since grade school. We did the paddle boats on the Potomac River, which was awesome, but a workout!
I'm back in NYC now and playing hostess/tourist with Naomi and Dianne who are visiting from Utah. Needless to say, I'm exhausted but am also enjoying it. Summertime is fleeting. I downloaded a new iPhone app that takes pictures with this cool affect. It's called Hipstamatic and it's awesome. I tested it out at the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on Friday.

Old Places, Friendly Faces

This last weekend I went on a day-trip with my church to Palmyra, NY, a place full of Mormon church history. It just so happens that I spent much time there as a missionary awhile ago, so it was exciting to be going there on multiple levels.

Two of my roommates went, too. It was fun! Me and Alina in the Joseph Smith Frame home (above). And me and Jess with the Palmyra Temple in the background.
